So where do you guys put Huntress on the scale? I'm quite curious.
She never learnt to control her powers at all, despite it being her reason for hanging at the mansion.
Failure as a student, you mean?
Simon: You're out of your mind. Early: That's between me and my mind.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Martian Manhunter is the last of his race, yes.
Hawkman and Hawkwoman are...ex-patriots? Who knows anymore?
Starfire is, I guess, a Tamaranian princess escaping slavery. Or was before she left.
Hm. What other alien superheroes are there? I'm sure Marvel has tons (Captain Mar-vell, for instance), but I'm not a big Marvel guy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes, which weakens the premise that it's a school (or an effective one) -- what with the not teaching and stuff, except for the kidlets.
Koriand'r kept going home, but then there was the insane sister. Not sure if she's just fleeing a failed relationship at this point.

Vigilante. Like Punisher.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Because one student never learned to control her powers?
I think one has to look at how the individual characters are portrayed these days, as oppsoed to, say, in the Sixties or Forties, because the attitude has shifted a lot. The X-Men, particularly, have been re-interpreted.

Vigilante. Like Punisher.
Except hotter.
And slightly more interesting.
We need subclassifications for Vigilantes.

Shrift, have you seen my new default LJ icon?
Seriously. Fangs. is perhaps the most amusing thing in the world to me right now.

No, because the only student they focussed on teaching never learned anything.
Sure, they train all the time, but so do soldiers. Even at the gitgo (second incarnation), weren't they out saving people right away?

Yes, and this is why I'm giggling at my desk. The batjazzhands were pretty freakin' funny, too.
